Tottenham’s dream starting XI to face West Ham on Saturday

Tottenham’s Premier League season kicks off with an absolute corker as they face London rivals West Ham on Saturday – a fixture they lost quite ridiculously, three times during the 2013/14 campaign.

But with a new manager at the helm and a handful of summer signings, the Lilywhites will believe their chances of beating the Hammers this weekend will have significantly improved.

A few more acquisitions by Friday night wouldn’t go amiss either. Spurs are known to be on the verge of signing a small but impressive collection of summer targets, so with that in mind, here’s a look at Tottenham’s ‘Dream XI’ to face the Irons.

Since four of your 11 “dream” starters won’t be arriving at Spurs anytime soon and another is unlikely to start, I think even the euphemism “dream” stretches credulity. I believe most genuine Spurs fans would appreciate at least some connection with reality — There is a place for this article, and it comes under the category Fantasy Fiction.

I think you’ve pretty much stated exactly what this article is trying to say. If these players were to sign then this would be the ‘dream’ starting XI for Spurs against West Ham. That’s the whole point of it, which is why it says DREAM in the title. Christ.

And, if I’m honest, it’s probably the only team capable of beating West Ham for once. Because at the moment it looks like it could be happening again.
